Duofu went down to announce the decree.
Po Jun waited aside, awaiting Xiao Yuqi's instructions.
"Has Zhan Xingxing arrived at Jian'an City?"
"Master Zhan arrived in Jian'an three days ago and has been staying at Anping Restaurant without being discovered by anyone."
"Where's the thing in his hand?"
"The items have been handed over to the Grand Commandant. Your Majesty, rest assured. Everything is going as planned."
Xiao Yuqi held his forehead with his hand. How could he feel at ease?
Things come one after another and I have no end to worry about.
If his calculations are correct, there will be battle reports from Liaoyuan Pass tomorrow.
He was destined to be sleepless tonight. How could he leave with peace of mind if he didn't deal with these things?
...
...
"Your Majesty, Lord Duan has lost contact with us!"
Xiao Yuqi's brows furrowed.
"Tell me more about it."
Pojun handed over a secret letter he had just received from Tianji Tower and placed it in front of Xiao Yuqi with both hands.
"Tianshu just received news that Lord Duan suddenly disappeared in Jiangnan three days ago. The last place he was was Tianqiao Inn at Zhoudaokou. Our people are already looking for him!"
"If Lian Chengzhi is imprisoned, the situation in Jiangnan will probably be more complicated than we imagined."
Xiao Yuqi will burn the note, and the people in Tianji Tower will spare no effort to find Duan Chengzhi's whereabouts.
"Among the successful candidates this time, there is a man named Shen Wei. Although he is from the Shen family in Jiangnan, he has not been valued by his family since he was a child, and he also has grudges against the Shen family. The imperial decree has been passed down to appoint the new successful candidate Shen Wei as the governor of Jiangnan County. He must do his best to track down the whereabouts of the dirty silver and supervise the construction of the dam. There must be no mistakes."
"yes."
Xiao Yuqi wrote three imperial edicts in a row and arranged all the remaining matters.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting brighter.
He rubbed his tired brows.
**Suddenly there was a noise.
Su Jianyue came down from the ** carrying a thermos bucket.
She didn't get off the set until two in the morning. Fortunately, she asked Ruan Jiujiu to place an order in advance for an old hen. In the hotel, she used her own electric pressure cooker and added the astragalus and angelica she brought with her to make a pot of chicken soup. As soon as it was done, she packed a portion for Xiao Yuqi to bring over.
Sure enough, she knew that Xiao Yuqi would definitely not have time to sleep tonight.
"Don't you have a job? Why are you here at this time?"
Seeing Su Jianyue coming, Xiao Yuqi immediately stood up to greet her and took the thermos from her hand.
Su Jianyue got off the bed with the force from his hand.
After putting on his shoes, Su Jianyue took the thermos bucket and pulled Xiao Yuqi to the table.
"You work day and night, how can your body take it?"
Su Jianyue pushed Xiao Yuqi to sit down.
"I made some chicken soup for you. Eat some to replenish your blood."
In the ceramic thermos, there was chicken soup with a little Chinese medicinal herbs added, which was rich and golden in color. Su Jianyue served Xiao Yuqi a bowl and gave him a large chicken drumstick, then she pushed the bowl in front of Xiao Yuqi with satisfaction, "I order you to eat it."
She tilted her head and looked at Xiao Yuqi with a smile on her face.
It seemed as if all the worries disappeared at this moment.
In the early morning after a tiring night, a smile, a bowl of chicken soup, a caring word, and a pair of warm hands made Xiao Yuqi subconsciously redefine the word "home".
He lowered his head, curled the corners of his mouth, and his long eyelashes concealed the emotions surging in his eyes.
There is an emotion called happiness, which expands and grows little by little.
Filling his chest completely.
He picked up the porcelain white soup spoon and took a sip. "Delicious!"
Xiao Yuqi commented sincerely.
Su Jianyue was very satisfied. "Of course, the soup I made myself must be good."
Xiao Yuqi raised his free hand and rubbed Su Jianyue's head with a smile.
Su Jianyue was wearing plush White Rabbit pajamas, which made her look cute and comfortable to wear.
"You must have not slept all night, go to sleep. I will go to court soon. I probably won't have time to accompany you today."
Su Jianyue shook her head. "I'll watch you finish the chicken soup before you leave. I just took a shower and I'm not too sleepy yet. I'll go to sleep later."
Xiao Yuqi didn't say anything else and just drank his soup.
The way he eats is very elegant, and it is pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at him.
Su Jianyue watched him finish all the chicken soup with a smile on her face.
For a chef, it is a very fulfilling thing when diners eat all the food she cooks.
The young eunuch brought the medicine soup prepared for Su Jianyue today.
Duofu went to do his errand. The one who came to deliver the medicine today was one of the eunuchs under Duofu, named Xiao Lizi.
It was not the first time for him to serve in the imperial court, but today he looked particularly nervous.
So much so that when he placed the medicine bowl in front of Su Jianyue, his hands trembled unconsciously and a little bit of the medicine spilled out.
Such a rash action made Xiao Yuqi frown.
Little Leo immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, I know I am wrong, please punish me."
Before Xiao Yuqi could say anything, Su Jianyue held his hand and shook her head slowly.
"It's not a big deal. There's no need to punish him."
Xiao Yuqi always listens to Su Jianyue's words.
Hearing this, his low and majestic voice suddenly sounded: "Get out."
With just one word, the little eunuch was so scared that he pissed and shit himself and crawled out.
Su Jianyue had just picked up the medicine bowl and was about to pinch her nose and drink the dark medicine in one gulp.
Her hand was suddenly held down by Xiao Yuqi, who shouted, "Stop."
Little Leo had just retreated to the threshold, but upon hearing this, he turned around and ran away.
Xiao Yuqi immediately threw the bronze candlestick on the table.
With a bang, the candlestick hit Leo's knee accurately.
Little Leo's knees went weak and he fell to the ground.
The Yulin Guards outside immediately stepped forward with knives.
Before the blade fell on Leo's neck.
Little Li then bit open the medicine bag in his tooth socket and committed suicide by taking poison.
Su Jianyue was frightened by such a scene.
She quickly put down the bowl in her hand, took two steps back, away from the table, and repeatedly wiped her hands that had touched the medicine bowl on her body.
Xiao Yuqi's face was grim.
When I met Su Jianyue's helpless eyes, my heart ached.
"Xiao Yuqi, someone wants to kill me."
Xiao Yuqi knew who was behind this without even having to think about it.
"Xiao! Lin! Shen!"
Very good.
He actually reached out his hand to Yue'er.
"Someone come."
Cheng Lin obeyed the order.
"The Regent King formed a clique for personal gain and was corrupt and accepted bribes. We are now sending 3,000 Yulin Guards to surround the Regent King's Palace and confine everyone in the palace until the case is fully investigated."
Originally, he was going to deal with Xiao Linshen today.
He is really getting more and more rampant now.
Su Jianyue's hands were cold, and Xiao Yuqi held them tightly.
"Don't worry, Yue'er, I will definitely give you an explanation."
"How... did you know that the bowl of medicine was poisonous?"
